Using the market to find discounts and deals is the fun aspect of fantasy football. While it's easier said than done, we can look at the data to find potential mispriced running backs.

Fantasy Football Undervalued Wide Receiver Sleepers for 2024 - Rashee Rice, Demario Douglas, Josh Downs, more

Every year we go through average draft position (ADP) with a fine-tooth comb to spot the players we believe are undervalued and the players we believe are overvalued.

Backup Fantasy Football Running Backs To Chase In 2024

In my last article, I highlighted one-man backfields to chase in 2024. In this article, I highlight four of the best backup running backs to chase in 2024.

Instead of highlighting the obvious 2024 breakout candidates, my goal for this article is to uncover the ones that are going a bit under the radar. You’ll notice a trend with these four breakout candidates. They’re either […]

WR3 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Busts for 2024 Drafts

The WR3 in an NFL roster differs from the WR3 in fantasy football. The third-best wide receiver in a squad can still fall within the top 20 wideouts. However, WR3s are typically ranked 25th to 36th among wideouts. Fantasy experts derived this tier from the typical number of players in a fantasy football league. Hypothetically, […]

Late-Round Running Back League Winners for Fantasy Football (2024)

Once you reach a certain point in your draft, it's all about drafting upside and finding that potential league winner, such as Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams in 2023.

Mid-Round Wide Receiver League Winners for Fantasy Football (2024)

Fantasy football season is almost here! While fantasy managers should be focused on nailing their early-round picks and identifying late-round picks with upside, be sure not to forget about the middle rounds.

Mid-Round Running Back League Winners for Fantasy Football (2024)

The middle rounds of fantasy drafts are essential, and once your teams have built their core foundation, it's time to start taking chances.

Must-Have Middle-Round Picks for Fantasy Football Drafts - Tyjae Spears, Pat Freiermuth, more

In fantasy football, we often discuss early-round players or late-round sleepers to draft, but hardly ever consider those all-important middle-round picks. In fantasy terms, we define middle-round picks as the ones made in Rounds 8-12 in a 12-team league. That means we're using Underdog ADPs of 96 to 144 at this stage as we are […]

Tight Ends to Avoid in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues

This may be the year when tight ends are finally cool again. The position seems deeper than it's been in years, which is especially true at the top of the position where there are four to six players fantasy managers can argue for being the TE1 this season.

Top 3 Impact Rookie TEs For 2024 Fantasy Football

It usually takes tight ends a couple of years to finally see production. T.J. Hockenson, Dallas Goedert, and Trey McBride are a few of the tight ends who failed to really make an immediate impact in their first year. Hockenson, Goedert, and McBride all totaled less than 375 receiving yards as rookies.  Sometimes, there are […]

Tight Ends to Target in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues - Part II

The tight end position has been a wasteland for the past few years. We had our top-three guys and then it seemed as though everyone else was the same. TE6 was the same as TE18. While that's not entirely true, in terms of impacting the wins and loss column, it's probably not much of an […]

Tight Ends to Target in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues - Part I

2024 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidate: Aidan O'Connell

In the 2023 offseason, the Raiders made a big splash by replacing Derek Carr with Jimmy Garoppolo. They expected Garoppolo's experience and winning DNA during his stints with the Patriots and 49ers to help them make the playoffs. However, Garoppolo was subpar and was replaced by fourth-round rookie QB Aidan O'Connell. After two wins in […]
